Point Of Orders

Legal definition for Indian law research

Definition

Point of orders, includes an objection raised by a member at a meeting for breaches of the rules or regulation, to some defect in the constitution of the meeting (e.g. absence of a quorum), to the use of offensive or abusive language, or to invite the attention of the presiding officer that the motion under discussion is not within the scope of the notice, or to any similar infirmity or irregularity in the proceeding. In addition to breaches of the general or special rules, use of insulting or bad language, gross accusations or insinuation and unseemly or contemptible conduct may be taken exception to in this manner. A point of order is primarily intended to determine the interpretation of the rules and regulations governing the meeting; it does not contemplate any discussion on any event, Surat Singh v. Kishori Lal, (1969) 2 SCC 487.
